Hi, I think you should contact User_talk:Tim_Starling about your formal proposal and how to go about getting community input on it. He can also answer any other questions you might have about the whole proposal process. 172.193.89.45 17:23, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Forgotten edit summaries

Hi, I just saw your question at the Help Desk about forgetting to include an edit summary. As Cyrius suggested, you could make a note of it on the article's discussion page, but some (many?) people might not look there and still blast you for not including the summary. If you were the last person to edit the article, another option is to do a "null edit." Basically this means you edit the article again and change something insignificant, such as adding an extra blank line at the end of the article. Then save it and write your edit summary "Forgot summary on last edit. Summary is..." I hope this helps. SWAdair | Talk 06:44, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Biodiesel

Hi, thanks for your edits on biodiesel. I would like to make this a great article and I think it just needs some editing for consistency and style, particularly in the later sections. feel free to mention anything on the talk page you feel the article needs though. - Taxman 14:24, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC)

That sounds reasonable. I have a fair number of additional things I would like to add. (see the to-do list on the talk page). I will have to be done with them by the end of today due to some other commitments, so after that would be a great time for some copyediting. - Taxman 18:59, Aug 4, 2004 (UTC)

TeX Problems

Omegatron,

On Meta:Help talk: Formula, you were asking about where to report some TeX bugs on Wikipedia. There's a new Wikipedia Bugzilla set up at bugzilla.wikipedia.org; if you're still having problems, you can report them there. I'd be happy to help write a bug report if you'd like; you mentioned problems with other things missing, so I'm not sure what the extent of the problem was. -- Creidieki 22:18, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Oh good. I will try to report it. - Omegatron 02:14, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

Color of stub links

Thanks for your note on my page. Somewhere along the line, somebody guided me toward a cascading style sheet solution to my issue. I'd done them in the past, but I didn't recon that they would work on Wikipedia. I have the following catbar.css file that really makes a stub stand out.

a.stub {
	text-decoration: underline !important;
	background-color: rgb(0,0,0) !important;
	color: tan !important;
}
a.stub:after {
	content: " [Stub]";
	color: red;
}

I don't think the a.stub:after entry does anything on my browser, but the a.stub entry causes any stub to be highlighted in a really UGLY fashion - black background with tan text. It makes me want to fix it!

It isn't really a global fix, but it will do until they get around to a better solution. Catbar (Brian Rock) 21:46, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Jared Cohon

I don't think the lack of a link is saying that he's not important in some sense, but rather that there's simply not an article about him nor is it intuitive that there should be. --Improv 02:53, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I've been working in a lot of areas where there are a lot of missing articles still, and I like leaving missing-article links, largely because it encourages people to fill them in. I think that the "Carnegie Mellon" article is a natural place to link to "Jared Cohon". I also like having the link there, because that way if someone creates an article on Jared Cohon, we don't have to depend upon them going back to all of the appropriate articles and adding links. And if other articles create links to him (say, because he served on the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board) before his article is written, it's a lot easier to notice that we need an article if they all include links. -- Creidieki 18:47, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- I guess I can see that. To me, it seems like the existance of a decent article allows for discussion of notability, and I really am unsure if he's notable enough to be worth mentioning. *shrug* Are you another CMUer? --Improv 20:30, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks

I just wanted to thank you for helping out on Cathedral of Learning. you're definetly picking up a lot of stuff that missed, along with a bunch of stuff I just plain was starin at too long to figure out how to fix. Lyellin 08:07, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

E-Prime Article Style

A consensus was pretty much reached on the talk page to e-prime that the article itself shouldn't be written in e-prime. If you disagree, please discuss there. I am considering restoring the "to be" verbs in the article. Samrolken 06:52, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

BSD licensing

My apologies if you thought my revert was premature; in retrospect, I should have discussed the issue before changing the article. Your modification claimed that the GPL forbids "commercial use", which is not true. The GPL forbids redistribution that removes the user's right to certain freedoms (e.g. the freedom to modify and redistribute) -- it might be fair to say that it disallows "proprietary redistribution". However, the GPL does not disallow "commercial use" -- the GNU folks specifically discourage the use of "commercial" to mean "proprietary".

Your modification also confused two distinct licenses: the GNU Free Documentation License is known as the GNU FDL, and is not the same as the GNU General Public License, which is known as the GNU GPL.

My other point was that this content doesn't really belong in the FreeBSD article, because it is just as applicable to any other piece of BSD licensed software. BSD and GPL licensing might be a better place to add more information about the rights granted by the two licenses. Neilc 04:02, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Economy of Europe

Hi, I noticed you'd made an edit to this new article, so was wondering if you would add your support to it's nomination for Collaboration of the Week. Simply add your support here. Obviously such a big project needs as many users with relevant knowledge as possible, so hopefully this will promote it a little. Thanks, Grunners 00:36, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

See my response on my talk page – Ram-Man ^{(comment) (talk)}[[]] 23:50, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

I'd also like to add that the statistics estimating how many Wikipedia articles are available made a wild guess, not so much an accurate probabalistic look. Actually since many of the 35,000 city/county articles have not been edited by anonymous users (i've performed random sampling of the articles), the percentage may not be far off. My theory is that anonymous editors tend to focus on a certain range of topics. I could be way wrong. I've added a note on my stats page that it is basically just a guess and not terribly mathematical or probabalistic. I also assume that anonymous editors typically make minor and/or small edits that would not be hard to remove from an article if it needed to be multi-licensed. But in the end, anonymous editors cause a headache to be sure, but at least some articles will be available. The whole article does not need to be anyway, since a project such as WikiTravel only needs subsets of interesting information that would be fitting for a Travel Brochure, such as some important sites to visit or maybe a few population statistics. – Ram-Man ^{(comment) (talk)}[[]] 14:29, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

Image:Usagi.jpg

Unfortunately, there is no way to undelete images that have been deleted from Wikipedia. If you can find the source, you can re-upload it, including an Image Copyright Tag and proper source information. That way it won't get deleted again.

You're right in that I should use a better edit summary for that sort of thing. I've been doing so lately. (example). I also left a note on Talk:Furry. They're pretty upset over there!

Thanks for your courtesy. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 16:26, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

You said "An image that our article uses was deleted, in violation of policy, with no warning to us, and no explanation." Actually, the image was appropriately deleted according to policy, as it was a copyright violation listed on WP:PUI for 30 days. You've also received an explanation. A warning notice should have been given by someone after 15 days, but what would you have done with this information? Could you have shown that the image was actually available under a free license? You haven't received an apology because I don't feel I did anything incorrectly, and I haven't been rude to you. I'm available for Wikipedia:Mediation though, if you feel it's warranted. Peace, – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 19:22, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I just made a more detailed reply to you on my talk page. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 19:46, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You asked "I'm probably going to look on the mirrors, to try to get a copy of the image, and see whether I can find licensing information. Would you be able to provide me with the image description text, and the username of the uploader?" Sure. The image was entitled "Usagi.jpg". The image description page said only "{{unverified}} {{PUI}}". The original uploader was User:Imran, who is no longer on Wikipedia. You can e-mail him, however, by going to his user page and clicking the "e-mail user" link to the left. Hope this helps, – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 04:47, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

FYI, I've been trying to get people to discuss the current image policy which often leads to non-copyvio images getting deleted (even if the uploader is a higly-respected contributor of Wikipedia). I've pointed out that in many cases the uploader won't be available to defend his/her case as he/she might have left the project. But unfortunately only 3-4 have responded to my comments. Instead of linking you to all the places I (& others) tried starting a discussion I'll link you to [1] where I've placed all the links. -- Paddu 15:15, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Multiple Redirects

MediaWiki ignores any redirect in a page led to by a redirect to avoid infinite loops (and thus save server time). There are other (more complex) ways to detect infinite loops, but this was the choice made in the early days and I suppose nobody thought of any need to change it. If you feel multiple redirects are useful, open a feature request on it in MediaZilla as per the instructions at Wikipedia:Bug reports. -- Paddu 15:05, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sandbox categories

I found the categories on the listing of unparented categories. So that's how I came to them. As for them being in your user space, they are not. That's a key part of the situation. Categories are always in the main user space. The "Category:" in front defines that. If you look one or two submissions below yours you'll see me submitting a couple of categories used by others to organize their subpages, and I'm a little more detailed about wanting these type of categories to go. The comments are, in the end, just my opinions. CFD is a vote, and I've lost submission votes a number of times, showing that my opinion is not always in line with conscensous. So be it.

In the end though, I did make one big mistake. I indeed should have informed you that your categoies were being put up for CFD. I apologize for not doing so. TexasAndroid 14:14, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cathedral of Learning removed sections

In reference to the section that states:

Local legend states that to counteract this resistance Bowman ordered that the construction of the walls would start at the top floor and work their way down, so the project could not be canceled. Actually, this was practical, as the exterior walls are not load bearing in skyscrapers. This means that they do not hold weight, so the walls can be built at any time. Building the top walls first allows for ease of movement of materials and equipment during the construction.

I've actually seen a picture that seems to back this up. The University of Pittsburgh's library system has a storage facility in North Point Breeze/Homewood, and on the wall of the (I think) second floor there's a framed picture of the Cathedral that is completed except for scaffolding on the lower three floors. I can't be certain if this is the only explanation, but it would seem to make sense, as I believe the date on the picture is about right. I have no idea if I'd be able to get to this picture or make a copy of it, but I can assure you that it does in fact exist. Whether or not this would justify returning the above section to the article I'm not sure, but I thought you might find it interesting. -- Patraus 19:18, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

History of science fiction

Hey... I've been working on the SF history overhaul on a user subpage, User:Ferret-aaron/sftest. It's going to be at least another couple of weeks before I'm happy enough with it to put it up for discussion to replace the current article, but it's starting to take shape, and I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look and comment just on the general shape of the overhauled article. Obviously, I haven't gotten to writing the future of SF section yet, and I haven't figured out what to do with film, TV, comic books, or video games, but i'm starting to like where the earlier parts are going.

I also hope that your back fracture/fusion hasn't caused anything like the damage C sustained from the sabotage. Though perhaps missing communications from the DREAMERS might be a debatable loss. I don't think I'd regret missing them, but you might feel differently.

Kumanovo dispute

Hey Creidieki --

I was wondering if you could take a look a the article Kumanovo if you get a chance. I seem to have stepped into the middle of a dispute between User:Bitola and User:Freestylefrappe, and I'm just curious 1) if you think my actions so far have been reasonable, and 2) whether you feel the disputed content (as of the most recent edit -- some of the previous content was copyvio, but that should no longer be a problem) is "nonsense" or if it's reasonable, good-faith material. I've been threatened with blocking if I revert it back in (which I already stated that I wouldn't), but I'm going to try to refactor some of the information from the disputed passage into the article piecemeal. Thanks, User:Glenn Willen (Talk) 01:27, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the desire to act in good faith, but Glenn Willen is either a sockpuppet of Bitola or is too lazy to actually follow Bitola's repeated vandalism. I'm reverting Bitola's bad version of the page to the longstanding version. If any user has constructive edits then I wont revert. freestylefrappe 02:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Categories

One problem is that a lot of people just take junk cateories and blank them out rather than using the appropriate "delete" template. A bot could probably detect these empty categories. I will think some more about this.

What I really want it a natural place to start and sensible navigation to almost everything important in both the mainspace and in the Wikipedia: space. I am still struggling to figure out how long Special:Uncategorizedcategories should be in an "ideal" world. If not zero, it should be rather short.

Reward board

Wikipedia operates on consensus. If you propose something new and it gets a lot of opposition, you sit down, see if the issues can be addressed, and if they can't be, you don't proceed. This proposal is a significant one, and had nearly 50% opposition, which was nowhere near enough to activate it. I'm sick and tired of the attitude of some people of "oh, well I like this idea, so I'm going to do it anyway, and everyone else be damned." That is not the way this project works.

I'd be willing to provide a photo of myself if you were able to obscure the face for me. I do not know how to go about doing that. If a photo from the chest down would work I could get one of those. Let me know - Jeb8828 23:25, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quantum channel

No, the edit summary is a general one that covers more possibilities than actually apply to this article - in this case the only changes were a typo fix (ouput --> output) and converting html special characters to their Unicode equivalents. Sorry for any confusion. Colonies Chris 22:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question...

Do you still need BMI pictures. If so, I'll help you out. I don't want the money, but I'm looking to get some cool looking Barnstars! Kindly leave a message on my talk page (left arrow in my sig) with your response. →Bobby← 21:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Complexity classes

Hi. I noticed your bounty offers on complexity classes. They have officially expired December 1st but I was wondering whether you would consider extending the offer. In any case, I'm a researcher in complexity but, oddly enough, I haven't done too much editing in that respect, except creating Circuit complexity and watching a couple of complexity-related pages. If you're ever interested in collaborating on specific articles or if you feel that specific pages need to be created, let me know. I've been too lazy to really sink my teeth in Computational complexity theory which, I believe, deserves a complete rewrite. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 16:07, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia for children

Hi Creidieki, we're working with the 1.0 team to develop snapshots of Wikipedia in different levels of breadth and depth for use by children and in classrooms. We need to start a project page on en:wp about this, and link it to the sets of content bundles on the olpcwiki. Zdenek Broz and a number of editors on the olpcwiki are currently working on some scripts to make 10-20M bundles of material; Renaud G., one of the developers of moulin, and mako and others are also working on ways to distribute offline editing. Drop onto IRC and visit #olpc-content on irc.freenode.net to catch many of these people. +sj + 18:15, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The other project that needs work is an encyclopedia for children... something that simple-english and WikiJunior have addressed in very narrow ways. But these are longer-term projects than the ones noted above. +sj + 18:17, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I need to inform you that I've protected Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Logs link because it allows users to add code to the javascript of other users.

Thank you. RainbowOfLight ^Talk 06:26, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Stain

I have nominated Stain, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stain. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Marshall T.

Computation time

Just letting you know that another editor and I decided to redirect that stub you created to analysis of algorithms. The articles in this are very fragmented and overlap a lot. Your article was defining a notion that usually falls under analysis of algorithms (i.e. for a particular program), but then you discussed mostly issues related to Computational complexity theory. That article was, rather embarrassingly, not mentioning time hierarchy theorems at all, so I've copied there your sentence about hierarchy theorems. Since you do research in the area, let us know if we somehow miss-handled this. Pcap ping 20:13, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FL (complexity)

Since you started that article, where did you find this class defined? Robin and I are having trouble finding a source for it. I added info about FNL to it, for which there is a source. Pcap ping 23:24, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Violence in bars and pubs

The article Violence in bars and pubs has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Short article , which since it's creation sometime in 2006 has not seen major development.

Suggest deletion or merge with appropriate topic

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kosher locust, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mesora.

Allow to use AFD tools to comment by any autoconfirmed users

Currently, commenting an AFD draft is very difficult if a user is not a member of AFD (esp. not extend confirmed). I hope the AFD gadget can have a fork or modify to allow non-AFD users to comment in a draft. That will help draft creators and official AFD reviewers a lot to help us improve Wikipedia.

I did a manual comment on Page "Draft:David_Jarvis_(percussionist)", revision 1048121389, please also check does it violates any of the rules.--Wiki Emoji | Emojiwiki _Talk~~ 11:08, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
